Storyline

An updated, hour-long version of the classic Hannah-Barbera mystery cartoon. Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo travel from town to town in their van, The Mystery Machine, solving cases of hauntings, monsters and unexplained occurrences. In this series, the gang is joined by Scooby's pint-sized nephew, Scrappy-Doo. Unlike his uncle, little Scrappy is constantly looking for a fight, and it is all Scooby and Shaggy can do to keep him from hurtling head-on into every ghost and monster they encounter. Of course, after doing a little investigating, most of these ghosts and monsters turn out not to be so scary after all.

User Reviews

I Never Thought Scrappy Was All That Bad.

Scrappy Doo: He is what some consider to be the most hated cartoon character of all time. Call me odd, but I got a huge kick out of the little dog. Yes he was loud, and yes he tended to go a bit overboard, but he seemed to be the exact opposite of his uncle, Scooby doo. And in many cases, opposite personalities make for great situation comedy. While traditionalist fans of the show hated the addition, perhaps Scrappy was added in order to entertain younger children....the audience producers were aiming for in that time period.

The Puppy's Further Adventures: This show was the "Puppy" part of the title and told the story of Petey, a dog searching for his lost master. This lesser known show was a favorite of mine, and sadly there are no DVD's or VHS releases produce as of yet of this gentle but engrossing series of stories. Hopefully they will someday, as there were quite a few fans of Petey and the gang.
